Topic: The Malakith [Player Request] (Read 12790 times)

"They come in waves. Ever coming. Never faultering. Giant, armored titans of war that crush our greatest soldiers and sned civilizations toppling. For forty years we have fought them from the Atlantic all the way to the Mississippi. No one believes we can win this war. And that it is only a matter of time before the 'taint' of humanity is wiped from the face of the Earth."

It was forty years ago when the Malakith appeared.

The world of 2012 was a world on the verge of destruction. America's war in the Middle East had intensified, with the invasion of Iran in 2010 and the Iranians fighting savagely and brutally. War threatened to break out between China and North Korea against America when the USA found that North Korea had finally been able to make the technological jump to nuclear weapons and the West Coast of the US was threatened. Africa had disolved into a blood pit of warring civil strife and Europe was struggling to stop from going into a depression.

It was the perfect time for the Malakith to come.

In Northern Maine, just North of Dover Foxcroft next to a small lake and with no one around for miles, a ripping sound could be heard and suddenly electricity began to flow. A hole appeared the very fabirc of reality and continued to expand until it was nearly a hundred feet tall and seventy feet wide. Stopping there, the Gate seemed to solidify around the edges and stop growing. Hunters from Dover Foxcroft were the first to see this whole that seemed to lead to nothing.

In an hour, men from Washington had been shipped off to observe this and the science community debated upon what it could be. But they were soon answered when from the Gate, for that was what it was being called, came tall humanoid creatures in cobalt blue armor that began shooting at any human they saw.

The United States Armed Forces responded with what they felt was overwhelming force but the armor of these strange warriors absorbed the blows and were soon flowing in all directions. The US Armed Forces were repelled and defeated and the Americans fell back.

Meanwhile, that was not the only gate to have opened with one in Asia, Africa, Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia.

The one in Asia appeared in Beijing and the Chinese, feeling that these creatures were going to win. Responded with a Nuclear bombardment of all of Asia. When the dust settled, Asia was destroyed, the Chinese believing that they would destroy what these creatures would seek to capture instead of letting it fall into their hands.

In Congo, the Gate was opened out poured these creatures that soon overwhelmed all the forces brought to bear against them. Here would be the greatest slaughter of human life, the creatures adopting a policy of genocide that made all the prior holocausts appear trivial in comparison. In forty years, not a single human soul would remain on Africa, more than a billion people killed in the Great Holocaust of Africa.

In Europe, the Gate appeared just West of Paris and Western Europe soon fell and what was left of the fighting was in Eastern Europe where the Russians had rallied together and were fighting like they always had, under the guise of the Russian Republic that ruled all what was left of Europe.

South America was fighting under the Latin Union with the Malakith having landed in Brazil and the Falkland Islands. The advance of the creatures had been stopped near the city of La Plait and Buenos Aires. The narrow band of Human control was being called the Sangriento Estrecha, or Bloody Narrows.

In Southeast Asia, with the launch of nuclear weapons, most of the thousands of islands of Southeast Asia were nuclear wastelands, but the creatures had landed anyways and established a tentative hold on Australia that escaped largely unscathed by the nuclear bombardment.

And so, for forty years the humans fought against the creatures that would eventually come to call themselves the Malakith. They would capture a city and then begin a series of extermination that killed the smallest baby and the eldest human. And they were extremely thorough in their killing, forming Extermination Squads that would enter small towns and annihilate everyone.

America had fallen as a country with the fall of Washington, the president killed. What replaced it was the Federation of North America or simply the Federation. It ruled what was left of the human resistance on North America and were highly militiristic but even still were pushed back by the Malakith.

And so, in the year of 2052, the world has changed. Africa, Asia, and the Middle East are cleansed of all human life. Small rebel strongholds exist throughout the Middle East. Russia fights on two fronts, against the Asian Malakith and the European Malakith. The Federation fights along the Mississippi and Nelson Rivers and the East coast of the Winnipeg Lake.

South America fights under the Latin Union in Brazil and the cities of La Plait and Buenos Aires.

The Malakith are not a united race, just as the humans were not united. There are so far seven Malakith "civilizations" that the humans knew of.

The North American Malakith were taller than the rest of the Malakith and were the battle hardened veterans of the Malakith race. They were the warrior elite and had chosen the hardest battleground as the place to establish their home. They relied more on their armor and brutal overwhelming tactics to win battles. When they captured a city, they would eliminate virtually all human traces. But instead of destroying the city, they would occupy the city.

The South American Malakith were the smallest of the Malakith, as tall as a man and disdained the armor that the rest of the Malakith wore for lightning quick strikes. They had got the worst pickings of the Malakith and were more clannish than others of their race, residing on working in packs to fight. The South Americans called them Reptiles for they did not wear their armor and their greenish skin and hooded eyes gave them the look of reptiles.

The African Malakith were definately the strongest, having taken the entire continent early on. They even were reported to sometimes get into small skirmishes with the European and Middle Eastern Malakith. They were the highest in the Malakith Caste, the Noble Malakith and made sure that the other "civilizations" fought for them. The Malakith Super Capital was located there, in Congo.

The European Malakith wore lighter armor than their North American counterparts and relied upon their great tanks to do most of their fighting. They had huge tank brigades that the Russians fought with nasty tactics not seen since the Blitz of WWII. The European Malakith also were known for long range combat, artillery fire deadly to the Russian Lines.

The Middle Eastern Malakith were merely the military arm of the African Malakith, professional soldiers who prided themselves on military tactics and strategy. They were having trouble in the amazing heat of the Middle East and the rebel strongholds that existed throughout the entire Middle East. They had recently began the fight against Russia with the attack on Istanbul and pushing through Kazakstan.

The Asian Malakith were the most secretive of the Malakith, and the most advanced air power the Malakith had. The Asian Malakith Air Wings were dreaded across the Siberian Waste and Tibetan Mountains, striking out against the stretched Russian lines and the remaining Asian forces in Tibet. Although they did not strike as often nor as hard as the other Malakith, merely did so to keep the Russians and Asians from looking away.

The Southeast Asian Malakith did not fight nor do anything except trade when with the others of their race. Due to the nuclear bombardment that happened across most of Southeast Asia, they were centered mostly on Australia where they held the greatest Naval force the Malakith had. They fought isolated pockets of human resistance among the islands, although had yet to be hampered seriously.

And with them came their own women and children and elders. It appeared that the Malakith had come to stay and this was not just a War of Conquest, but an extermination. Either the Malakith would wipe out the humans or humans would wipe out the Malakith.

This story is based around the 19th Texas Regiment under the command of Brigadier General Mark Stannes. They will be an important asset of the defense of St. Louis. There are two Brigades in the 19th Texas Regiment. The 1st Houston Brigade and the 2nd Dallas Brigade. The Houston Brigade is under the command of Colonel John Jackson and the Dallas Brigade is under the command of Colonel Harald Morris.

There are four Battalions under each Brigade of a thousand soldiers each and they are under the command of Lieutenant Colonels. Their designations I leave up to you. And the smallest unit available for command in this rp is a company of a hundred soldiers led by a captain. There are ten companies for each battalion.

Enlisted personnel are able to join as well, and mostly I will need sergeants.

The 19th Texas Regiment is roughly a new regiment, having been created from the remains of the 2nd and 11th Texas Regiments that had been mauled up in the far South fighting in Louisiana.

For further information, just ask.

This is what I need so far:

Brigadier General (1): He will command the entire Regiment and the whole events of this rp will depend on him.Colonels (2): They will command the Brigades.Lieutenant Colonels (: Battalion CommandersCaptains (40): Company Commaders.

Malakith characters are up for grabs, and information about this is largely secretive so just PM me for that.

This story focuses on the Federation, and more precisely the Federation Marine Corps. They have fought to hold control of St. Louis and Minneapolis and to attempt to recapture Memphis. In the Gulf of Mexico, remnants of the American and Mexican Navy fight against the Malakith Navy.

In the Hudson, Beufort, and Baffin Bay the Canadian Navy fought the Malakith Navy along the Queen Elizabeth Islands.

Much of what is left of the human society on the North American Continent is geared to war. The new capital of the Federation is San Francisco where the President resides. Every male and many women serve in the Federation Military, with huge factories geared to production of weapons and materiel. The Federation rule as far South as Honduras and as North as Nord, Greenland. They rule a small section of land on Russia, mainly the city of Providenya.

Weapons used by the Federation are far more advanced than they were in 2012. Instead of projectile weapons, the most common battle rifle is the Dual EMP Blaster Rifle that fires a concentrated emp round that punches through armor like paper.

The North American Malakith are all over eight feel tall and heavily muscular humanoids. They possess almost identical facial features except that their faces are largely square and their skin is a greenish scale with tiny darting eyes. They wear the Cobalt Terror Armor that has amazing protection against the largest projectile round and they fight with their own huge tanks called by the Federation, Reapers. They are all armed with what appears to be huge triple barreled minguns that could not be carried by a human being.
